Lost Open Internet Connection option for wireless on my tool bar

Does anyone know how I can bring back the Open Internet Connection option on my tool bar? I'm hoping if I can open that it will help me solve why I can't connect to the land line in my office. [email protected]

Open *System Preferences* and the choose Network. Pick Airport. At the bottom next to the Options button see if the *Show AirPort status in menu bar* is checked. Check it and it should pop back where it was.
If it's PPPoE click it and there will be a similar choice to show it in the menu bar.

  • I was downloading some songs when I lost my internet connection. There is no sign that these songs reached my iTunes but i have been charged for these songs anyway. What should I do?

    I was downloading some songs when I lost my internet connection. There is no sign that these songs reached my iTunes but i have been charged for these songs anyway. What should I do?

    It's possible that the message you got was to update the AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) firmware...and that something might have gone wrong during the upgrade.
    Let's start by performing a "factory default" reset on the AX to get it back to it's original "out-of-the-box" condition.
    Then, let's set it up to work with your cable modem...
    AirPort Express Base Station Setup (AX) w/High-Speed Cable Modem
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling (optional)
    - Power-off the Cable modem, AX, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
    - Power-on the Cable modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
    - Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    - Power-on the computer(s)
    Setup the AX
    With the network components powered down, set up the AX, using the AirPort Admin Utility, either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
    AirPort tab
    - Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    - AirPort Network Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    - Create a closed network (unchecked)
    - Wireless Security: Not enabled
    - Channel: Automatic
    - Mode: 802.11b/g Compatible
    Internet tab
    - Connect Using: Ethernet
    - Configure: Using DHCP
    - WAN Ethernet Port: Automatic
    Network tab
    - Distribute IP addresses (checked)
    - Share a single IP address (using DHCP & NAT) (enabled)
    Do not, at this point, set up any security (i.e., WEP/WPA encryption, closed network, etc.) to first make sure the AX is operating properly. Try to access the Internet wirelessly with your MacBook. If you're successful, go ahead and add any security features you wish.

  • If I leave the laptop alone for 15 minutes, when I come back I have lost my internet connection

    I have been using firefox for about two months now without any problems. With in the past two weeks, if I leave the laptop to do something else, when I return to the laptop and go to check my E-Mail etc. I lost my internet connection. I check and says I have an excellent wireless connection but I am forced to re-boot and then I'm back on. "WHY"

    What kind of documents? Office? iWork? Text Edit? What version?
    What settings do you have in regards to power saver and/or screen saver?
    For these kinds of system glitches I always recommend installing and running Onyx 'Automation'. If that does not work you should reinstall the offending software, if possible.

  • Verizon Fios and internet connection issue for ONLY some of my devices

    Lost my internet connection last night for about half of my devices (iMac, iPad, Kindle) but the funny thing is that the other devices are able to connect to the internet at the same time. 
    The Verizon Fios router is MI424WR with dual antennae.  I have a Time Capsule hooked up via ethernet to the Verizon router and am using the TC as a wireless access point. 
    As I am not computer knowledgable, could this happen if there was a firmware update on the Fios router?  Could the Fios router allow only certain devices access while denying access to other devices to the internet?  It seems that if only one device can access the internet, the system does work but there is a "gatekeeper" that is not allowing access.

    No, you use the airport utility not Network Preferences which is your local computer setup.
    Setup of the TC you need to select it in the airport utility.. on either a Mac or in a phone or ipad.
    When you open it click on the TC and go to the edit tab and check all the details. eg the bridge is here.
    Go to the wireless tab to setup wireless.
    I recommend a change of wireless name if you do not use names that are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. do so.
    See how you go without a factory reset but if that doesn't work then a reset is in order.

  • Internet Connection - Your Apple wireless device does not have a valid IP.

    I just bought an Apple TimeCapsule and set it up normally, following instructions to my Arris cable network on the Videotron provider here in Quebec, Canada. The TimeCapsule did appear as a wireless device on my MacBook Pro (after updating the AirPort software from the provided CD - as was instructed). I went through the whole installation process to obtain at the end this error:
    Internet Connection - Your Apple wireless device does not have a valid IP.
    The only provided instructions were to check the cable and then contact your Internet provider. Well it seems clear to me that if I contact my provider and say that the internet connection works fine directly on my computer, also fine through my "normal" wireless router but not with my new TimeCapsule, I won't get much of a response.
    After a lot of research, a friend indicated the solution in my case.
    You have to really reset the cable modem to convince it to start giving out IPs again.
    To do this:
    1. Unplug your TimeCapsule (possibly you might have to reset to factory defaults - see the documentation)
    2. Unplug your cable modem
    3. Reset your cable modem by pressing the reset button with a pen (or something) for several seconds.
    4. Plug your cable modem back in and let it reboot/restart - until the lights are back on.
    5. Plug in your TimeCapsule
    Everything should now work and you can restart your AirPort set-up on your Mac.
    Good luck!

    My ISP is AOL.  The service is DSL via a broadband modem.  Somewhere during the setup process there appears to be a communicatiosn issue between the Airport Extreme Base Station and the DSL modem.  When I hook the DSL modem directly to my iMac I can connect to the internet without any issues. 
    I tried the factory reset and the DSL modem reboot process described in other posts and seemed very close to success...until the internet setup step.  That is where this issue first presented itself.

  • Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the internet by ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well.

    Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the Internet by Ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no Internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well. Could the other wireless laptops being used in my flat be affecting my connection. what can I do to get connected, keep connected. Thanks for any ideas out there.

    My network connected for a few hours then went back to timing out. I have not changed anything. However there four additional laptop users in my family who do not seem to be having any problems using their wireless connection. Could their film and music downloads be causing the timing out of my connection and if so is there a way I could prioritizes my computer or limit their use?

  • I was lately downlaoding a 700mb file, but i lost the internet connection and i have the .part file and i cant click resume, is their any way that i can continue dowlaoding the file without the need redownloading from the begining?

    I was lately downlaoding a 700mb file, but i lost the internet connection and only 635mb was downloaded and i have the .part file but the download menu says that download failed so i cant click resume, is their any way that i can continue dowlaoding the file without the need redownloading from the beginning?

    I do not know if your file can be recovered.  But I may be able help you to recreate it with ease.  If you will settle for a composite where all image are re-sized for a particular tile size and virtually cropped to its aspect ratio.  However all source image need be gathered into a folder to use my script process.

  • VPN lost my internet connection ?

    Hi everyone
    One question about VPN, when connect through VPN to my Work everything is ok execpt that a lost my internet connection and i can't browser the internet outside VPN.
    any clue
    Thank

    is your network adapter you use for VPN configure to use remote gateway? it's in tcp/ip settings of adapter advanced. if you have a proxy or firewall it may be blocking, typically I turn of this and if a user wants to browse internet while on VPN they
    use their own connection. Some companies prefer to use gateway on the vpn network for security reasons.

    Delete and recreate your settings in the Network preference pane. If you're connecting to a wireless network, also delete the AirPort network password(s) in the Keychain Access application.

    Hi there Julia,
    Ahh The iPhone isn't "stupid" it's been called "stupid" because you are frustrated at the situation , but try
    Load iTunes. Backup your phone. Make sure it is backed up !! Run restore. This will get rid of the error! And please what ever you do , do not skip the back up!

  • Completely lost all internet connection on brand new MacBook Pro

    2 week old 2011 17-in MacBook Pro, running Lion (factory installed). I should note that this is my first Mac, so I'm still learning my way around, however it's highly unlikely I did anything to cause this to happen.
    The problem is pretty simple - I have lost all internet connectivity no matter what method it's connected. I have tried it on my company network via ethernet, and several different WiFi networks. All connections are recognized as connected, but I cannot make any outside connection.
    We've rebooted networks servers, rebooted/shut down the Mac, re-checked all of the network settings - everything is what it should be.
    Everything literally was working perfect one second and completely lost the next.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance.

  • Can we disable the anti-alias option for the quick selection tool?

    Can we disable the anti-alias option for the quick selection tool?
    I can deselect it with the magic wand but not with the quick selection. Any ideas?
    thanks,
    Dominik

    I don't think you can, but in the refine edge dialog you can use the contrast setting to get rid of most of the anti-alias.
